Toronto’s R.A. Dickey threw six shutout innings before leaving with soreness in his neck and back during the Blue Jays’ 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Baltimore’s Matt Wieters hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Orioles a 10-6 win over a Tampa Bay Rays team that lost despite hitting four homers.

Cincinnati’s Choo Shin-soo singled, doubled and scored twice, helping pitcher Tony Cingrani get a victory in his first major league start, as the Reds crushed the Miami Marlins 11-1 for their fourth win in a row.
